B Kermit the Frog,Miss Piggy,the rest of the furry-loveable characters of a famous film The Muppets-don't they just bring a smile to your face every time you see them?Would you believe they were the creation of a special creative mind?Whose was it?Jim Henson's,of course! 高一英语试题 第3页（共10页） Jim Henson was born in Greenville,Mississippi,in 1936.As an adult.he loved to work with puppets().Before he turned 20 years old,he had achieved success with a popular late-night puppet show called Sam and Friends. Henson became known for his humor,and his puppets often appeared in television ads. Henson also developed the technique of using cameras to focus on the puppets while keeping the puppeteers out of the frame().This allowed puppeteers more freedom,since they didn't have to be stuck behind a screen.It also made the puppets seem much more lifelike. Henson's big break came in 1969,when his puppets became an important part of popular educational show Sesame Street.Since that time.Henson's beloved characters have become closely related to public television. In 1976,Henson developed his own comedy show -The Muppet Show,based upon his puppets.It struggled at first,but eventually became a success that was one of the most widely watched television shows in history. Always preparing for a challenge,Henson branched out ()into major movies,proving that his puppets could be as popular on the big screen as they were on television.Over the years, Henson's characters had charmed countless people with their unique humor. In 1990,the whole world was sad to hear that Jim Henson passed away suddenly.Today,his work lives on through the various companies and organizations he set up.He has inspired millions of people with his creativity.His words have also inspired many to follow their dreams. 24.Why does the author mention The Muppets in the first paragraph? A.To compare its characters. B.To show a kind of art form. C.To introduce a famous film. D.To draw our attention to its creator. 25.From paragraph 3,we can know Jim Henson is 4 A.creative B.patient C.positive D.serious 26.When did Jim Henson make his own comedy show? A.1n1936. B.1n1969 C.ln1976. D.ln1990. 27.What can we learn about Jim Henson from the last two paragraphs? A.He failed in his attempt at movies. B.His work mainly focuses on children. C.He has made a big difference to many people. D.His puppets have lost their popularity now. 2 The story of our home galaxy()may tend to be changed.That's because a bar-shaped collection of stars at the center of the Milky Way appears to be much younger than expected. The bar is a prominent feature of our galaxy.It covers thousands of light years and connects the galaxy's arms of stars,making them look like spinning(water.In computer models of the Milky Way's development,the bar tends to form early in the galaxy's around 13-billion-year lifetime.But the ages and locations of metal-rich stars suggest the bar finished forming just a few billion years ago,researchers report. 高一英语试题 第4页（共10页） "These metal-rich stars are basically like records of ancient stars that are telling the story of our home galaxy,"says Samir Nepal,working at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam in Germany. Stars with large numbers of metals are built from the remains of stars that have since exploded.Those metals enrich the materials at the center of galaxies like the Milky Way,which is why a new generation of metal-rich stars can form only deep inside galaxies. Using data from the European Space Agency,Nepal and his coworkers recreated the development of the Milky Way bar through its influence on the metal-rich stars.They inferred the bar's history.just as you might figure out where the batters stand in a baseball game by looking at the flight of the balls they hit,even if you can't see home plate. In the study,the researchers found out a burst (of star formation in the central part of the galaxy that became quiet about 3 billion years ago.The downturn seems to mark the end of the Milky Way bar's development,the researchers report.After that burst,the inflow of new material into the bar probably dropped off significantly.That may account for why the bar developed so late. 28.What does the underlined word "prominent"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Simple. B.Long-lost. C.Man-made D.Noticeable. 29.What can we know about metal-rich stars from Nepal's words? A.They remind us to make up old stories. B.They show the history of the Milky Way. C.They record the development of the earth. D.They can help keep our home galaxy safe. 30.Why does the author mention a baseball game? A.To compare the effects of the metal-rich stars. B.To introduce a new sports event among students. C.To explain how scientists track the age of the bar. D.To give an example of the importance of teamwork. 31.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.A Bar of Stars Looks Surprisingly Young B.New Advances in Space Exploration C.Various Metal Stars Are Found in Space D.The Development of the Milky Way D Does bad grammar drive you crazy?It may not just be a matter of opinion-scientists at the University of Birmingham in the UK have shown that hearing bad grammar can make us feel stressed,because it causes the body's autonomic nervous system,which controls our body's unconscious(无意识的)processes such as breathing and heart rate. 高一英语试题 第5页（共10页） The study tested how our heart rate answers when we hear grammatical mistakes in a speech.It found a direct connection between poor grammar and reduced heart rate variability, which is the measure of the variation in time between our heartbeats and a known sign of stress. For the research,41 healthy British English-speaking adults listened to 40 speech records by four different speakers with British and Polish accents().while their heart rate was monitored by a machine attached to their fingers.Some of the speeches had grammatical mistakes..using the words“a”,“an”and“the"incorrectly.The length of the speeches changed. and the number of grammatical mistakes in them changed.too. The results showed that on average,the listeners'heart rate variability dropped when they heard grammatical mistakes in the speech.They also showed that the more mistakes that listeners heard,the further their heart rate variability dropped.In addition to this,the listeners found it more stressful to hear grammatical mistakes made by native English speakers compared to speakers with a Polish accent,because heart rate variability was more reduced when hearing grammatical mistakes made by those with a British accent. The study's lead author.Dagmar Divjak,said the results could have a practical application: They might be used to help test the mental abilities of people who cannot speak due to poor health or old age. 32.What does the research focus on? A.The rules of learning grammar. B.The ways to avoid making mistakes. C.The importance of having a good mood. D.The impact of grammatical mistakes on our feeling. 33.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research? A.Its effect. B.Its result. C.Its process. D.Its purpose. 34.Which sentence may make listeners feel stressed according to the text? A.How happy we are! B.I has nothing to do at home. C.That book was a little boring. D.My class saw a film yesterday. 35.What does Dagmar Divjak think of the results? A.Useful. B.Meaningless. C.Confusing. D.Doubtful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Be a Better Gardener There are always lots of things to learn as a gardener,and many of them can only be learned through getting your hands dirty.But there are some things gardeners can learn from reading or watching.36 高一英语试题 第6页（共10页） What plant families are Actually,plants have formal scientific Latin names.These names help to categorize() plants,and make it clearer to identify and study those plants.Specific plants are specific varieties of particular species.Species are members of a certain genus ()And each genus belongs to a broader plant family. 37.For example,plants in the Lamiaceae family(mint family)include garden herbs such as lavender,mint and rosemary.In the family.members will generally have aromatic( )leaves,among other shared characteristics. 38 Learning plant families can be a great step forward for those who want to identify more plants around them.Even when we cannot identify plants down to species and variety,knowing which family they belong to can often give us a lot of the information we need.This will often help us to understand the broad characteristics of the plant we are looking at,and where it might be placed in our gardens,or which neighbors it will like.

Ahead was Blake.a student from Burke High School.He was running easily,too,moving along efficiently.The pace felt comfortable,so I decided to stay where he was;why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me?I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy. So I ran closely behind him.The course headed north for five miles,wandered west for a mile,and then turned south again.The race was getting tougher.With three miles to go,it was beginning to be real hard work.My lungs were on fire,and legs felt like stone. 高一英语试题 第9页（共10页） Blake overtook the boy in front of him.Apparently he knew the boy,for they exchanged a few words.Their brief communication worried me.Runners don't chat during a race unless they feel really good,and Blake plainly was.There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps,but the springiness I had once possessed was gone. Still,I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired,so I didn't give up hope completely.We were approaching a hill,a mile from the finish line,so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first. As I moved up the hill,my attention wandered for a few minutes.When I looked up,Blake was moving away,first five yards,then ten,then more.There was no hope of catching Blake. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully.

It’s the only one of my classes I have trouble with. W: I can help you with that if you help me with my English homework. (Text 4) W: What do you usually do on the weekend? M: Oh, I don’t do anything special. I don’t go out with friends or go to the cinema. I just read books at home. (Text 5) M: Karen, can I talk to you? When you see a customer, you should always ask them if they need help. And you can’t talk to your friends on the phone during your work time. W: Sorry, Mr. Wilson. It won’t happen again. (Text 6) M: I have found that Chinese people really enjoy drinking tea. W: Yeah, tea is an important part of Chinese culture.

M: How are they different from each other? W: They taste different because they are made differently. Black tea is heavy, but green tea is light. (Text 7) M: I like your hat. You look like someone from France. W: Thank you. It’s my new style. M: What do you think of my shoes? They were made in Germany. W: Very cool. So where do you get all your fashion ideas? M: Mostly from fashion shows and magazines. What about you? W: My sister is a fashion designer. Sometimes she lets me wear her clothes. M: Do you want to go to the mall with me after eating lunch? W: Of course. So what are you going to order? M: Let me see what’s on the menu. Um, I think I’ll have the Spanish-style eggs. You? W: The French toast.

M: I finished that book one year later, and continued to search for rare and old ones. W: Where do you find your coins? M: Sometimes I get them from small shops, but I usually buy them from other people who collect coins. W: You seem very proud of your hobby. M: Of course. I often show my friends the coins I collect. It’s a lot of fun, I think. W: Thank you for your time, Professor Jones. I think people will like reading about your hobby. (Text 9) M: I’m really bored at the moment. W: Let’s play a game. I’ll describe someone, and you try to guess who it is. OK. This man is tall and thin. He has blue eyes and curly brown hair. M: Does he have a moustache or a beard? W: Good question. Yes, he has a moustache, but no beard. M: Sounds like Mike, doesn’t it? W: Yes, you’re right! Now you describe someone we both know. M: OK. She’s not very tall, but she is a little heavy. She has blond hair. W: I don’t think I know anyone like that. M: And she wears fashionable shoes. In fact, she wears fashionable clothes, too. W: This doesn’t sound like anyone I know. I give up. Tell me who she is. M: She’s your mother! W: Ah, that’s actually a pretty good description. But it’s embarrassing that I couldn’t figure that out. My own mother! Do you think appearance is the most important thing about a person? M: No, but it’s more important than a person’s character in the game we are playing. (Text 10) M: I have played music for most of my life—about twenty years. My parents had a piano in our house that I would pretend to play as a two-year-old kid. I started taking lessons at the age of ten. I loved to play. I would practice for three hours a day as a kid. As I got older, my teachers and parents wanted me to get serious about playing. So, in high school, I took music classes and played in some concerts to make them pleased. I traveled to other cities to play. The concerts and the traveling were hard on me. I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be. When I left high school and went to college, I stopped playing as much. At some point, I decided not to play the piano anymore. But I never forgot the music. Now I just play for fun. I don’t practice every day, and I don’t have to become the best player anymore. But that’s okay with me. 参考答案 听力： 1—5 CBACB 6—10 ACCBB 11—15 AABCB 16—20 ACCBA 阅读： 21.

Sadly, human activities such as habitat destruction, poaching and pollution have pushed countless animal species towards the brink of extinction It is time for us to take immediate action to reverse this alarming trend. First, we can increase people’s awareness of wildlife conservation through handing out leaflets. Second, we can demand stricter laws against illegal poaching. Finally, we need to call for clean natural habitats for wildlife. Let’s start to protect the wildlife hand in hand from now on. The Student Union 第二节 One possible version: Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully. Then I hurried up and ran up to him, only to find that his ankle was twisted badly. I tried to help him stand and move forward, but he refused. He asked me to run after the others so that I could get the first place. I thought for a second and decided to accompany him for a rest. Then we ran slowly forward together. Although we ran slowly and were overtaken by others, I felt relaxed and we finally crossed the finish line together. A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online. During the time, the photo got a lot of likes. Many strangers sent the emails to praise me about the incident. In fact, I was a little hesitant at the beginning, but the moment I decided to help Blake, I felt calm and relaxed with birds singing on the trees and the soft wind brushing my cheeks. I’m happy that I did the right thing.
